It’s not just one river — this is impacting 42,000 people and 1,100 homes and businesses.

Flash flood warnings are in effect as levee failures and overflow push water into Washington neighborhoods. Towns like Auburn, Pacific, Burlington, and many others are seeing families forced to evacuate with only what they can carry. Homes and small businesses are taking on water, roads are closing, and rescues are happening as people get trapped by fast-rising floodwaters. After the water recedes, the real work begins—cleanup, mold, lost appliances, ruined school supplies, and the painful reality that some families won’t have a safe home to return to.

When disaster strikes, help often comes fast… and fades just as quickly.

Christmas is going to be very tough and instead of Christmas carols they will be going through their belongings trying to find photos of loved ones amid the wreckage of their lives. Please consider donating to these communities; help us to mobilize the full power of the Relief Foundation so that we can show these families and businesses that they are Not Alone, Not Forgotten. The Relief Foundation is a federally recognized 501c3 nonprofit with over 20 years of experience that exists to bridge the critical gap between emergency response and lasting recovery, so communities are supported long after the headlines fade.
